Please consider using John Truby's book ( or even the cover of it ) "The Anatomy of Genres" for identifying the 14 Genres of story.

Myth, Epic, Western, etc...

"adventure" isn't a genre: it occurs in multiple genres, serving as the canvas on-which the genre's points are written...

That book, btw, is an awesome bunch of psychology.

Some minor errors, like mis-defining comedy...

( proper definition of humour: "improbable violation of expectation", or a strange-loop form )

...to be made of a "drop", a debasing, or put-down, or reduction of somebody...? Maybe in the US, but it isn't the true fundamental root of humour.

sooo much gold in that book, though: definitely worth investing in.

( for anybody wanting the core competencies in writing, I'd say that both John Truby's books, and Shaun Coyne's "The Story Grid" are books that are required, and they are the top/core competencies. Coyne recommends McKee, as well. )
